DISCLAIMER
We have designed this kit with safety in mind.  However, whenever fuel is used to operate an engine generator there is always a risk due to fire, exhaust gases and electric shock.  This kit will not eliminate those risks.  If a fire develops, metal sheds will not contribute to the spread of the fire but sheds made of flammable materials could feed a fire.  Therefore we recommend the use of sheds made of non-flammable materials.   WARNING -- failure to follow the directions for construction and use of this product can cause serious injury to persons and property.  Read all directions fully before attempting to modify your shed and use only as directed.  We DO NOT recommend that this kit be installed in any space that is part of a dwelling or attached to a dwelling.

LOCATION
If you need to prepare the mounting pad before delivery contact us for a pad layout and locate the pad as follows:
  * within easy wiring distance to your transfer switch
  * away from bedrooms and other rooms where engine noise could be annoying
  * at least 5 feet from any building opening such as windows, doors, vents, soffit vents, etc.
  * at least 5 feet from structures having combustible walls
  * at least 5 feet from combustible material
  * at least 5 feet clearance to any overhead structure, overhang, or tree
  * not under a deck
  * where exhaust cannot accumulate in any nearby occupied area
  * allows space to open front door and to move generator in and out
  * meets any additional requirements of your local codes and Fire Marshal

SHED PURCHASE SUGGESTIONS:
Metal garden sheds can be purchased locally at many home centers such as Lowes.  Costs start at about $230.00.  The Suncast BMS2500 storage shed can be purchased at Lowes.  The similar Suncast BMS3400 can be purchased at Home Depot.  But these are limited to generator sizes up to 7999 watts.  Note also that the Suncast sheds are made of plastic resin and will burn if exposed to fire.  And even though they have provision for a padlock they are not very theft resistant.  A determined thief during a power outage could break into the shed and steal the generator.

TRANSFER SWITCH & PANEL SUGGESTIONS:
If you do not already have a transfer switch or panel you may click here to order one from our wide selection.  You will also need to obtain any necessary building wire and a junction box locally if you wish to hard wire from the transfer switch to the PowerShelter.

PORTABLE GENERATOR SUGGESTIONS:
If you do not already have a portable generator, view our selection online by clicking here.

COMPARE WITH OUR NEW POWERSHELTER III HERE BEFORE ORDERING.  IT IS MADE OF ALUMINUM, IS NOT FLAMMABLE AND IS MORE THEFT RESISTANT THAN GARDEN/STORAGE SHEDS.

• Suncast BMS2500 and BMS3400 storage sheds are limited to approximately 7999 watts.  Higher capacity generators might operate successfully in these sheds but we have not performed tests of larger sizes.  NoOutage assumes no responsibility for results when exceeding this recommendation in these or similar sheds.

• Shed size is requested so we can provide the proper length intake shutter wiring.

• Optional second screen guard can be installed sandwiched between fan and outlet shutter to prevent little hands from reaching in through the open shutter when the fan is running.  This option is available factory installed or user can follow the included instructions to purchase the screen locally and sandwich it between the fan and shutter.  (Installing the screen requires cutting the screen to size, folding an offset in it, drilling out four rivets to separate the shutter from fan, sliding the blades back 1/2" and riveting the two pieces back together with the screen sandwiched between them.)
